Obama supporters lined up to greet the president in Madison, Wisc., on Thursday. While there, they were asked by Rebel Pundit if they thought it was fair that Obama didn’t have his teleprompter at the debate this week. Pure video gold:

Tony, You are off base. Are you implying that Obama got trophies for not really winning? He earned that noble peace prize during those first 5 days in office. He was busy writing executive order to hide his school records and financial aid form. If he didn’t there might have been riots in the streets! I’m sure Obama earned the Presidency of Harvard Law Review on merit. [sarcasm off]

Even with a teleprompter Obama couldn’t have done better. You can’t debate if all you have is lies. Obama’s used to standing in front of an audience spewing whatever lies and lying numbers he wants to pull out of thin air with no one including the press correcting him. That doesn’t work in a debate where the other person has the correct data and numbers. Obama can prepare all he wants for the next debate but it won’t help him.

If after nearly four (4) years in office, bo isn’t able to reasonably articulate: 1) what the issues, problems are facing this country, 2) what are some of the options for dealing with them, and 3) the direction he would like the nation to take – without the aid of a teleprompter, then it’s another reason why he ought not be re-elected. (is anyone generating a list of the reasons against his re-election?)

These mostly white people may be attending a top notch university, but they don’t seem to be any smarter than the Obamaphone woman. And their ill-informed vote counts just as much as her ill-informed vote does.

My premise is first-hand experience with the ruthless, “win at all costs” Chicago machine, as well as having watched voter fraud in Chicago and being a victim in California and (believe it or not) multiple times in Texas.

I screamed it from the roof-tops, and nobody cared, nobody did anything. That includes State/Local GOP organizations. We’re up against the same tactics in this election, nationwide, and I don’t see any safeguards.

I lived in Southern Illinois for 8 years. Chicago has the most corrupt political machine in the country. And, unless God intervenes, I fear the Islam-loving socialist will fool enough of our dumbed down, govt.-dependent, balkanized voters to squeeze back in, with the help of the media and lots of voter fraud and illegal campaign activity. I saw how that Chicago bunch almost succeeded in FL in 2000 for Gore. Its amazing that any Republican ever gets elected, although I know they do. But the Bush dynasty is long-gone and there are no more Reagans (God bless him) on the horizon. Our nation is teetering on the edge of a complete economic and social meltdown. If Obama wins, we will go over the edge. We may even with the moderate Romney. But there might be enough time and good folks left to start inching us back with the Almighty’s help.

I don’t think McCain was a complete idiot. (You’ll get no argument from me if you say that about the people in the video, however.) McCain did run an absolutely abysmal campaign, though. He seemed to not have a clue how to deal with the constant accusations of racism coming from the Obama campaign and just could not grasp the concept that the media, who had always been friendly to him, were completely in Obama’s camp. And then came the complete lies spread by the media that McCain and Palin were trying to provoke violence against Obama.

The difference is that Romney seems not to be much bothered by this kind of crap. Rather than becoming tentative and deferential to Obama, Romney took it to him. I loved the comment by Romney, exasperated father to wayward son, that he had five boys and no matter how often Obama repeated the lie (I’ve forgotten which lie this was) he was telling at the moment, that would not make it become true. I knew when I heard it, though, that accusations would soon follow that Romney had insulted Obama by making a racist remark about him. Sure enough, Romney has been accused of calling Obama “boy,” when that did not remotely happen. If Romney has apologized, or even acknowledged Obama’s whining, I am unaware of it. He’s just keeping the pressure on.

I know Obama and the people surrounding him are possibly the most corrupt in the history of politics, and there is absolutely nothing they would not do to stay in power. And it must be difficult beyond comprehension to have to campaign against someone whose supporters are half voting for him because of the color of his skin and half because they’re all confused and think this may be American Idol, but Romney seems to be doing a damn good job. At least he seems to grasp what he’s up against. Palin did, but McCain didn’t.

CalMark,
I don’t see it that way about debates not changing minds. In ordinary circumstances maybe. But this year is not ordinary.
I don’t know if you were around in 1980,but at this point in 80 Carter was leading in the polls by a much larger margin then Obama is today. Then the debates happened. Turns out that Reagan fellow wasn’t a senile warmongering actor reciting his lines on cue. He actually had a consistant philosophy and plan to get us out of the malaise
of the Carter years.

Remember, Carter was the smartest man ever to be president(a
nuclear engineer!)and Reagan was a gaffe prone dolt. After the debate, the people saw that media driven image of Reagan
was false and could see him as president.

In the last day I am seeing the same thing happening in my circle of friends and family. Turns out this Romney fellow
isn’t a cold,gaffe prone,rich robot. He has a solid plan to
get us out of “the new normal” and knows what he is talking about.

My parents are lifelong Dems who know Obama has been a disaster but felt they could never vote for the rich Republican plutocrat. But,they were impressed by Romney and
may change their minds. They were going to sit this one out(they have never missed an election since Kennedy).

I think there may be more people like this out there then the polls indicate.

Really?! (Mostly) Young People: don’t you know that a debate is supposed to NOT have any outside help, unless there are specific agreed-upon rules for note-taking, etc. – and NEVER teleprompters or ear-pieces that feed answers/responses, as that would be CHEATING? That it is an interactive discussion, NOT a memorized, “professional” speech?! Really?!!?!?

I cry for the lost generations………..sheeple, that’s what this shows.

Frightening that the one who is most ignorant is middle-aged (in appearance, at least).

Wait until these dipsh!ts all default on their student loans, because Jiffy-Lube or Starbucks just doesn’t pay that much. Then, me, you and the rest of the 53% will have to pay to bail out these schmucks. All the while they vote straight-Democratic and get paid “entitlements” by the Gummint as they occupy some otherwise productive place and call us capitalist pigs.

I thought he had a degree in Law from Harvard. How did he survive in law school without a teleprompter? Didn’t he ever have to perform a case in a court room? No teleprompter there. He’s intelligent and should be able to express himself without it. I’m a teacher and I can teach all day long without a teleprompter. His job is that of the President of the United States. He should know this stuff and not need a teleprompter to debate. It’s a debate. Should be unscripted for the most part. It’s real life. He’s not playing a part on stage. He IS the President.
